Comment what you think about the physics of the beamng drive, and also the gameplay of the game in general, including the steering wheel, which I haven't used yet.

A long time ago (at least 15 or 20 years) I played a game on PC with physics like this. I specifically remember driving a Dodge Viper, and every crash would crumple the body a little more where it took a hit. At one point I ended up crumpling the entire car into a single tire I could drive around, as the tires were the only thing that didn't squish.

Anyone know of this game?

YES It was a Dodge Viper game, as in that was the only car available I think. And there was a button to either crush the car more or maybe launch it into the air? I'm pretty sure that's how I managed to crumple it into a ball with wheels just like you. 15 to 20 years ago sounds right

That's the one! It was called Viper Racing, and this came out in 1998! Here's a video of a guy doing just what we described lol
